Transitioning from military service is a challenge, especially if you are interested in an industry not traditionally on the radar for military veterans. Biocom Institute’s Military Fellow Program bridges the gap and connects current and former service members with resources and professionals in the life science industry. Through professional and peer networking, veterans gain insight into identifying and translating tangible skills to build their value proposition. Biocom Institute’s initiative opens doors and opportunities that might otherwise stay closed for the Veteran community.
